Entertaining children at a party is hard work, especially if you've got a range of ages attending, they all want to play, and you’re trying to set up the food! So, why not let a professional children's party entertainers delight, entertain and enthrall your children and their friends, while you relax and wonder how 20 kids could possibly eat all that food in one sitting. (Don’t worry, they will!)

Despite knowing how to work an XBox from birth and being more tech savvy than Bill Gates, kids actually really enjoy traditional style entertainment that engages, amuses and surprises. A professional kids’ party entertainer understands the need to provide party entertainment that keeps children involved for every second, never letting their attention wander, or their enthusiasm lapse.

All Alive Network children’s party entertainers are professionals from either performance or childcare backgrounds, who are CRB checked and have full insurance. They are highly experienced and are able to provide quality entertainment for all types of parties and children, so you can sit back and enjoy the fun and games.

Here's our top 10 entertainment ideas for children's parties that will please the kids and impress their parents too:

Blow Up A Storm With Balloon Modelers

Balloon modelling is fascinating to watch, as long thin balloons are inflated then twisted at lightening speeds into anything from a monkey to a jetpack! The great benefit of hiring Balloon Modellers for any kid’s party is that every child gets something to take home, be it a hat, custom-made balloon jewellery, a backpack or a favourite cartoon character. Alive Network artist Miss Balloonist creates giant wearable masks that turn kids into pirates, witches, monkeys, dogs and even clawed monsters. She can even make caricatures of their parents in balloons, which always goes down well with the kids!

Face Painting For Children’s Parties

Transform your little VIPs into wild animals, butterflies, superheroes with the skill and artistry of expert Face Painters. Professional face painters will only use safe, water-based and hypoallergenic materials, so kids can wear their new look all party long and parents can restore them to angelic normality before bedtime!

Memorable Mime Artists

If your kids like Mr Bean, they'll love live mime. Children just can't take their eyes off a mime artist, fascinated as they conjure a world from thin air and pure imagination. Our Mime Artists Inc offer traditional style mime and also a silent clown act, for a wonderful show full of slapstick and comedy.

Meet The Animals In A Mobile Petting Zoo

With a Mobile Petting Zoo, adults and children can get close up to some of nature's most fascinating exotic animals, ranging from cuddly meerkats and skunks to magnificent lizards, snakes and even giant hairy spiders! These exotic animals create a memorable and educational experience for up to 15 guests (each additional child £3) with 8 animals. The mobile zoo experience includes holding touching or feeding the animals and you can take lot of photos. Extra children, animals, party games, crafts, party bags and certificates can be added on request.

The Best Prima Ballerina Parties Barre None!

Take your child's passion for ballet to a whole new level with a ballerina party they'll be raving about for months. A professional ballet dancer will thrill with a real ballet class, a hairstyling session (with lots of sparkles!), tiara and wand props, a special 5-minute performance, and time for photos and questions afterwards!

Marvellous Magic With Close-Up Magicians

Magic is really popular for kids, thanks to the new wave of TV street magicians, so a close-up magic show is perfect for a birthday party. Often combining conjuring tricks with an infectious sense of fun, a children's magician will give your kids a show that's amazing, amusing and absolutely unforgettable.

Crazy Comedy Jugglers

A Comedy Juggler is fabulous entertainment for a children's party, combining amazing skill with a healthy dose of humour. And it's not just juggling balls and clubs either - Alive Network's own comedy juggler Jon has been known to juggle 7 objects, 9 cigar boxes, a bowling ball, a small child and a chainsaw (one of these objects may be a red herring!).

Superb Storytellers

Once upon a time, there was a children's party where every child was spellbound by the power of a great story. And that party can be yours, a wonderfully relaxing experience for both guests and parents that is hard to find in today's busy worlds. Now that's a true happy ending!

Game On!

Remember those party games you loved as a child, like Musical Chairs, Musical Statues, Pass-the-Parcel, Pin the Tail on the Donkey, Egg & Spoon, Sack Races, Simon Says? Let our professional children's party entertainer delight the children with these oh-so-simple-but oh-such-fun games, plus their modern counterparts, Karaoke and Dancing Games, for a party that's active, fun and stress-free for you, the host.

Two hours of sheer delight, transporting kids into a make-believe world of fun and games. Led by professional children's entertains such as, Childrens Themed Parties and Childrens Entertainers, and with optional face painter, you can choose from popular party packages that delight from start to finish.
